Mccarthy and Sheridan and told them to get
the man.
This old hat was made a study. The card
of an east-side liquor saloon was found in

Last spring this innocent-looking young
man was implicated in the murder of a man
at Twenty first street and Avenue A. He fed
to New Jersey, and while in that State served
a term Of three months for smashing q plate
glass window.
While in prison his companions Biglan and
Hayes, were tried for murder, and are now

imprisoned in the Tombs for three months
on counter charges, when each withdrew his
complaint.

She occupied q furnished room at 654

Readings coal tonnage Increased 90, 900 tons last

The great bull argument Is that tho reports OF
railroad earnings now coming in all show great
gains as compared with last year.
American securities were sold lower In London
to-day and the stock market here was 10 q certain

The feeling on the moor continues bearish, and

According TO a prominent bull. the present rate
cutting In the West Is not as bearish as IL appears
Some people can be hopeful even when they see
the bottom dropping out Of the market.
Although Addison Cammack and Commodore
Bateman express bearIsh opinions freely, they are
said to he doing nothing, which Is suniciently
proven by the extreme dullness OF the market.
On the bear side 1t is claimed that the cutting OF
rates In the West Is only the beginnIng OF a long
struggle for supremacy between the competing
lines, ana is certain 10 result disastrously 70 all the
contestants.

that Gould's friends have been getting rid OF their

one in 100 of the people who travel on railroad
trains understand how the pressure OF air is used
to apply the brakes to q train. When the alr-brake
was FIRST invented the air was turned into the

stopped, and the pressure was exerted to force the
brakes up against the wheels. But Mt the present
day the brakes are held against the wheels by
springs and the air Is turned into the cylinders 10

the tram Is In motion. When 1t Is desired TO
stop the train the air ID let out, and then the
springs apply the brakes and stop the train. This

taRes over the old way on The score Of safety.
Whenever an accident happens to q Train. one Of

John Greenwald, the burglar who was convicted
Of the murder of Lyman s. Weeks. Of DeKalb
avenue, Brooklyn, on the night OF March is, has
abandoned all hope of either O Communication OF
sentence or q new trial The conviction was
affirmed yesterday by the Court of Appeals.
Distrlc-Attorney Ridgway says that Lawyer
Kinsley, Greenw AIDS counsel, showed the greatest
d~isrespect for him and for the Court when no failed
TO appear TO argue the appeal ;.but despite that, he
does not wish 10 take advantage Of q default and
send the prisoner 10 the gallowB. He has not asked
for the appointment OF q day for execution, being
willing TO give the defendant every opportunity.
In his own defense Lawyer Kinsley says that tho
District Attorney played a "snap ganie.n That
Is, he gave notice OF an argument, but ignored the
customary courtesy OF 4 meeting to settle q day
for the hearing.
He has telegraphed to the Clerk OF the Court OF
Appeals, and will go TO Albany either this afternoon
or tomorrow. lie says thar the de fault will be re-
opened ana that a new trial will be granted.
A story was circulated last night to the effect
THAT evidences we're found In Greenwald's Cell in
Raymond Street jail, That the prisoner had been
contemplating amurierous assault. From his re-
marks II was Judged that the District Attorney was
to be the victim, and the time, when the men met
In Court.
Keeper sheviin OF the Jail says there ID no FOUND
alton FOR the story whatever. Although Green
wald's cell was searched IL was done as 4 matter Of
course, aud not on account Of any suspicion.
District Attorney Ridgway had heard nothing Of
the story, but says that II Greenwald ever made
hostile movement he would shoot him ON tue spot

Ready to Back Kilrain.

10 s" o-S -
Ready TO Back Kilrain.
Mr.. Richard K. Fox. of the Police Gazette,
received the following cable despatch last
night from Jake Kilrain's agent in England
Sullivan challenges Kilrain and smith for IS, 900
In April. Shall make matchf Kilrain, in my
opinion, is greatest fighter ever seen in the ring.
HARDING.
Speaking of this challenge from Sullivan,
Mr.. Fox said to-day:
ITS nothing but a big bluff. If Sullivan
wanted to fight Kilrain why didn't he when
they we're both in this country
YES, I will back Kilrain to fight him, but
the fight must take place in this country or
Mexico.
~ have $500 deposited at the Clipper Office
already, and will put as much more there as
Sullivan wants, but in my opinion Sullivan
will never fight Kilrain. The latter is too
good a man."
The fight between Kilrain and Smith, Mr..
Fox thinks, will now probably be declared a
draw, in which case Mr.. Fox will give Kilrain
the stakes which he put up for him and the
$1,000 which he gave him for the purpose of
betting.
